History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The first European-American settlers arrived circa 1790, after the American Revolutionary War. This followed the Iroquois League nations being forced to cede most of their territory to the United States following the defeat of their ally Great Britain. The Mohawk and other Iroquois nations moved to Ontario, Canada, where they were granted some land by the British Crown in compensation. Some small reservations were set up for them in New York state.

The Town of New Berlin was founded by a partition of the Town of Norwich in 1807; it was named after Berlin, Germany, from which many new settlers had come. In 1821 the town changed its name to "Lancaster", but returned to "New Berlin" the next year. In 1853, part of the town was used to form the Town of Sherburne.
